MySQL Conference Submissions have closed

If you didn’t get your proposal in for MySQL Conference 2008 , that’s too bad.

I often wondered from past conferences why submissions were needed so early, like 5 months before.

Also getting a sneak preview of what’s to come is really cool! I’m already excited.
